See https://andrewolff.blogspot.com/2023/11/new-skin-versions.html

The pop-up dialog "You should re-arrange ..." is now displayed as notification, but the console window shows this message for folders with folders before or in between images.
if the skipcomment field on the 'Slide page' tab was empty, no captions were showed.

Problem in the home button of a menu corrected.
mkdirs() added and res destination changed, see https://jalbum.net/https://jalbum.net/forum/message.jspa?messageID=361265#361265

If the predefined theme image could not be read, a warning is given in the console window.

The link to the history.txt file was no longer working with jAlbum 29, so file history.txt has been removed.

At several places code inserted so that template variables like ${currentDate} can be used in user texts: In the 3 footer fields, in the description and in the html code field.

Middle footer field moved below the optional audio control. You can set the font-size for text in this field with this extra css code:
#footer_middle { font-size: 12px; }

Bug fix: Home and next button in toolbar did open two windows.

If no Google Maps API key is defined, the location will be shown in Google Maps in a new browser tab.

If a web page, like the About page, is hidden, it is not showed in the menu, but you can still view that page if you implements a link to that web page in the Links tab. This requires jAlbum version 22.2b12 or later version.

Some bug fixes.

The 'Vertical position' on the 'Index page' / 'Theme image' tab refers now to the bottom of the folder / album title, if the value is > 50%.
This improves the display of a title near the bottom of a responsive theme image in albums with folders and variable theme heights.
It might be required to adapt the vertical position if you did use already a value > 50% in a previous version.
For values <= 50% the vertical position still refers to the top of the folder / album title.

Bug fix: after refresh of a local album with the title in the theme image, the title did sometimes disappear.

It is now possible to define the font size of the title in the theme image, not only in absolute pixel units, but also in relative ‰ units. The font size is in that case a ‰ of the view port width, so the title shrinks if the view port shrinks.

To avoid problems with very long album titles on small devices, the position value of the Title refers now to the top of the Title. .

If you update an album which displays the title in the theme image, you have to update the Font-size and the vertical position.

Some svg icons improved.

It is now possible to define the font size of the title in the theme image, not only in absolute pixel units, but also in relative ‰ units. The font size is in that case a ‰ of the view port width, so the title shrinks if the view port shrinks.

To avoid problems with very long album titles on small devices, the position value of the Title refers now to the top of the Title. .

If you update an album which displays the title in the theme image, you have to update the Font-size and the vertical position.

In this version the possibilities of the theme image has been extended and improved:

New layout of the Index page / Theme image tab where more properties of the album title in the theme image are defined on this tab, like the title font-size,
the title color and possibility to apply shadows in the title.

The algorithm of the position calculation both for the title has been improved. The position values of both the Title and the Theme button icon refers now to the middle of the Title and the Theme button icon.
If you update an existing album with this new version, it might be required to adapt the position and/or font-size values and/or the color settings.

New combo-box "Horizontal alignment:" added to position the title centered, left or right in the theme image.

Checking the new check-box "Move title above theme image if view-port width <" makes it now possible to prevent that the title in the theme image is unreadable in small view-ports. Notice that in that case the title font-size, the color and the shadow is defined on the General tab and on Index page /
General tab.

If you change the Font size in the Viewer settings window, the album title font size is no longer changed.

The close button in the Google Maps window is moved 50px lower on an iPhone in landscape mode.

jquery-3.5.1 is now used.

There was a crash if in an album description a text '(...)' was in front of a link '[link text](link URL)'.

Bug fix:

Due to a problem introduced in the previous version 4.5.4 a theme image was sometimes only visible after a manual Refresh (F5).

Default Google font 'Quicksand' replaced by 'Roboto'.

The coded links [link text](link url) in Facebook text are now replaced by just the link text.

If the theme image is not used as background image, it is now never displayed with a width larger as the natural width of the theme image.

New manual and some texts are changed.
More Thumbnail parameters disabled if Justfied Gallery is used.

It is now possible to select thickness and type of Google fonts by adding parameters after ':' like 'Open Sans:300i' for Open Sanse type Light 300 Italic and 'Raleway:100' for Raleway type Thin 100.

If '</' is detected in a description, the whole description is seen as html code so no <br> codes are inserted.

The spherical panorama images in a 'panslides' directory were not used, this has been corrected in this version.

It is now possible to define the font-size of descriptions below the thumbnails on the index page.

The thumbnail in a folder tile was deformed if the folder width was undefined.

Problem with thumbnail in a folder tile solved for gallery with table tags.

The folder thumbnail margin is no longer controlled by the 'Thumbnails horizontal margins' field on the Index page / Thumbnails tab, but by the new field 'Folder thumbnails horizontal margins' on the Index page / Folders tab.
This does not work for table with DIV or TABLE tags if folder box width is >0 and folder box height = 0. So if you re-make an existing album with folders, do check whether you have to adapt the folder tile parameters!

If an 'Elastic table with <table> tags' has been selected the folder tiles will now shrink if the view-port shrinks.

The folder tiles are now responsive for all gallery types.

Problem with links in comment in the thumbnails of a justified gallery solved.

Check-mark "Image should use the whole view-port height if the image height is larger" has been removed, because it does not work on mobile devices.

New check-mark "Hide tool bar on iPhone in landscape mode" on the slide options tab.

If check-mark "Expand Spherical panorama automatically" has been set, clicking the close button in a spherical panorama will close the light-box.

New text box "Audio tooltip:" on the audio tab, for displaying music info in a tootip for the audio controller.

If check-mark "Expand Spherical panorama automatically" has been set, a possible description is showed at the bottom of the spherical panorama viewer.

Fixed: resize problem on an iPad after orientation change.

In the settings window is the question 'Use full screen for a picture' on an iPhone no longer visible.

Fixed: an Android issue because this device was indicated as a PC.

If a thumbnail hint did contain a link, it was with a Justified gallery not possible to open the corresponding light-box. Solved by removing the links in hints.

Some text and layout changes on the skin 'General' tab to make it better understandable.

It is now also possible to use a normal font for the title, differently from font for normal text.

New lines in comment replaced by html tag <br> if the comment contains no <br> or <p> tags.

You can now use text without html tags in the Info window and in the Footer text box.

New check-mark "Image should use the whole view-port height if the image height is larger" on the Slide page tab. If set, panorama and other wide images are expanded in the view-port (Example: https://andrewolff.jalbum.net/Vecht_Stegeren_Justified_Galery/). No panorama expansion buttons are displayed, but you should still set the panoramic image check-marks in the 'Panoramic image' user panel, or even better select an image size of for instance 20000x1080 instead of the usual 1920x1080. A spherical panorama is automatically expanded.

Spell-checking added to selected input fields (requires jAlbum 19 or better).

Bug fixed if code [text](link) was preceded by one or more '(xxx)' groups.

Resize problem with a video and iframe contents solved.

The video camera overlay icon was sometimes outside the thumbnail if gallery type Elastic table was selected.

New check-mark "Enable vertical swipes on the index page" allows you to prevent that an index page is closed if you moves the thumbnails down.

If 'Variable # thumbnails / row' has been selected as type of thumbnails gallery, you can now also use as row height a percentage of the screen-height in landscape mode. This makes this gallery type more responsive on small smart phone screens

Margin added to the text below the thumbs on the index page if check-mark 'Show shadows of panels on the index page' has been set.

Images with space between border and image better centered on a folder panel.

Predefined styles improved.

If 'Show Album title In the theme image' has been selected and check-mark 'Use Theme image as background' has been cleared, the album title could mostly not been displayed correctly on a smart phone in portrait mode. This is now improved.

The vertical position of the album title in the theme image on the Index page / Theme image tab is now in % instead of pixels, which gives a better responsive behavior.

File jquery.js replaced by file jquery-3.4.1.min.js

Google+ field removed from contact.htt template.

The Max. width field in the Panoramic image custom panel has been removed. The maxImageWidth property is now always 50000 for a panoramic image; the real width is determined by the selected image height.

Some code improvements for the Panoramic image custom panel.

With jAlbum 18.4 it is now possible to show the video creation time with the EXIF data.

GPS location of a video can now be displayed if GPS tool "Tool to get GPS link from video with GPS metadata" (see http://jalbum.net/forum/thread.jspa?threadID=54566&tstart=0) is used.
If the video contains no GPS information, you can add the location manually via this tool: open the Google Earth program, select in the Google Earth preferences for the Latitude/Longitude display format 'Decimal degrees' if that is not done earlier and set a way-point on the location where the video is recorded. Copy the values via the clipboard and enter the values in the Latitude and Longitude fields of the GPS tool, but the GPS tool requires that you add a + sign for positive values and only 4 of the 6 decimals are processed by the GPS tool. After you added GPS data to videos via this tool, it is best to close jAlbum and open it again before you open the edit window of a video or image otherwise is the image not visible in the edit window.
You can also use my modified version of this tool(http://jalbum.net/forum/message.jspa?messageID=334709#334709) in which case it is not required to add + signs in manual data, 6 instead of 4 decimals are processed and you can open an edit window immediately without closing jAlbum first.

Variables used for the Folder box width and height were not defined in file SkinModel.java which could result in a crash. This has been corrected, but now empty fields are no longer possible for the 'Folder box width' and 'Folder box height' fields. Enter now a value 0 if the system should calculated the best width and/or height.

The Title color selector has been moved from the 'Theme image' tab to the 'General' tab and is now also used if the title is displayed outside the theme image.

Some svg icons optimized.

Links are now displayed as bold.

Optimized home svg-icon used in the menu and the color is equal to the menu text color.

If check-mark 'Open first slide automatically' has been set, no thumbs are generated and a possible old thumbs directory is deleted
.
Problem with Fullscreen button in Resize function if index page was skipped solved.

The arrow navigation buttons on mobile devices are now hidden, unless check-mark "Hide navigation arrows on mobile devices" on the Options tab of the Slide page settings is cleared.

Check-mark "Clicking the up-arrow button returns to the previous page" has been removed, because it was not correctly working for albums with folders and you can get the same effect by entering 'javascript:history.back()' in the Parent page URL field.

If check-mark 'Show shadows of panels on the index page' has been set, the thumbnails on the folder panels show no longer shadows.

If the new check-mark "Compress panorama thumbnails" is set the ConstrainRatioFilter is used to compress the thumbnails of panorama photos.

The Show location function shows now only the address information if the new check-mark "Show location address (Geocoding API required)" has been checked.

The Full screen button on the index page was no longer working with the latest Google Chrome browser. This has been repaired with a new version of the ScreenFull library

Two new inc-files enties are added:
File page-header_00.inc inserts code in the &lt;head&gt; section directly after the title and before the link to the common.css file.
File page-footer_00.inc inserts code just before the &lt;/body&gt; tag, can be used for links to js-libraries.

If in the skin was selected for the top row of buttons 'Show initially' or 'Hide initially' and the viewer did click one or more times in the theme image or the Title, the last type of display is remembered.

If the description contains link code, the converted link is now shown in a thumbnail hint and in a possible description below the thumbnail on the index page.

Corrected: If an album did contain only web locations, a start slide show button was missing, although the slide show was enabled.

It is now possible to replace on small devices the menu-bar by a Hamburger button, via the new check-mark 'Replace menu bar by Hamburger button, if view-port width <' on the 'General' tab.

It is now also possible to define a maximum width for the profile image.

New code for Theme image: theme image size should now be set in the Set Cropping window. The Theme Width and Theme Height fields on the Theme Image tab are removed.

A folder image is now reduced in height if the image is larger as the folderbox.

If you click the Facebook Share button, the URL of the image and the URL of the web page are copied to the clipboard. This makes it easy to share the image and page in the native Facebook app and other apps.

Facebook Share code changed because of problems with the Facebook share function under iOS.

If the album shows no theme image, the Facebook share function shows now another photo.

New check-box ''Keep the common.css file locally' in the 'Fixed res path' group of the 'Web page' tab; only used if the 'Fixed res path' is not empty. This allows you for example to use another background image as used in the global res directory.

It is now again possible to work with empty Folder box width / height fields.

It is now possible to use empty height / width fields for the theme image:

If the Theme image height field is also empty, the Max image height as set by user is used as minimum height instead of 400px.

If a Folder box width was defined, the folder image could be distorted, this has been corrected.

Problems with invalid transition type, view-time and transit-time solved.

The Music.htt template accepts now also ogg audio files.

With an include file js_code.inc it is now possible to add extra js-code at the end of the $(document).ready(function().

Some html validation service warnings removed by adapting the html code.
The panorama viewer navigation buttons did not show the pointer cursor on a PC.

With a new check-mark on the Index page / General settings tab is now possible to hide the vertical scrollbar and use the mouse wheel only for scrolling. Use this to solve the colored border problem for a Justified gallery on a PC..
If you use a transparent background color with the Justified Gallery, you can, if you wish, clear that option, but in that case you should set the Justified Gallery Border parameter to 20 to avoid a jumpy window if a scrollbar is just visible.

Changes of the Justified Gallery:

You can now select a border width; the default value is -1 in which case the border width is equal to the selected margin.
The justified Gallery captions are now animated and faintly visible if a caption has been selected for a thumbnail.

Bug fixes: crash with empty folder removed and problem in files about.htt, about_album.htt and contact.htt solved.

If a folder contains another folder and not all images are before this folder in the jAlbum Explorer, you get an error message. The folder name is now showed in this message and also logged in the System console window.

If the Profile image on the Index page / Footer tab ends with ".", the next file extensions are checked: first "png", next "gif" and finally "jpg".

Non-used theme image files generated via the folder panel are now automatically removed.

The Facebook share function for the thumbnails page was no longer correctly working. This is repaired now with new code using Open Graph Markup for sharing. If a theme image is used the theme image will also be shown on the Facebook page, else the slide corresponding with the thumbnail showed on the Folder panel will be used. Option 'Use secure links' should be set if your album is uploaded to a secure site (starting with 'https:') like the jalbum.net server.

The F key opens now on a PC the Facebook share dialog, if the index page is shown and also if a slide is shown.

The mouse cursor hint of a theme image used as foreground image on a PC shows now the album title if the album title is in the image or if the title is hidden. So without title or if the color combinations makes it difficult to read the album title you can always read it via the mouse cursor hint.

Clicking in the Theme image used as background image, toggles now also the top buttons, if these are not fixed.

The panorama expansion buttons are now hidden if all next options are set: 'Start slide show automatically', 'Disable viewer settings' and 'Hide slide buttons: yes'. This is done to hide these buttons in embedded slide shows.

You can now use Google Fonts for normal text.

Two new check-marks for background image: "Auto-size background image" and "Don't scroll background image". The effects of these check-marks are only visible on a PC.

Added to the skinproperties: separateThemeImage=true, so with jAlbum 15 it is now also possible to define a theme image by dragging an image to the Theme Image box in the new Folder panel.

The are now 4 ways to generate a theme image, see the ‘Theme image’ tab on the ‘Index page’ tab:
1. Via the ‘Theme image:’ text box.
2. Via include file page-header_2.inc
By setting the new check-mark ‘If this field is blank or the Theme image is not found, use the Theme Image on the Folder panel’:
3. If ‘Create Theme image ...’ check-mark is cleared, the corresponding image in the slides folder is used. If a folder album has no slides directory this method does not work.
4. If ‘Create Theme image ...’ check-mark is set, a theme image folderimage.jpg is created in the output folder. You can define both a width and a height for the created theme image.
If method 1 is used, methods 3 and 4 are ignored.
If method 3 or 4 is used, the use of include file page-header_2.inc is excluded.

You can now use the theme image also as background image with fixed height, but if the Folder panel is not used, you should first remove all possible page-header_2.inc files otherwise it will not work.

You can’t display a spherical panorama locally; this version gives a warning message if you try to do this.

It is now possible to use always the whole window for a slide image, if you set new check-mark ‘Image should fill the whole view-port if the view-port is smaller as the image’ on trhe Slide page tab.

New option button 'Justified Gallery' added to the 'Type of thumbnails gallery' panel on the 'Index page' / 'Thumbnails' tab. If this option is selected, a compact thumbnail gallery is implemented with the justified Gallery plug-in, see http://miromannino.github.io/Justified-Gallery/. Notice that the slide border and shadow parameters are not used if that option is selected.

In panel 'Show in thumbnail tooltip' is the text 'File name' replaced by 'Nbr + File name'.

If 'Show shadows on index page' has been set, the top menu shows also a shadow.

Margins added for folder boxes and footer.

If the folder box width is used, the folder box image css has now a max-width to prevent that the images is wider as the box.

Spherical viewer of Jérémy Heleine added.
In the Panoramic image panel you can now choose for a spherical panorama or a spherical panorama.

Bug fixed.

If no new window is selected for the Google Maps route link on the Links tab and a kml or kmz file is entered in the URL field, the map will be displayed in a section of the index page like the map for a slide location and a panorama expansion page. So background music is not stopped, but if a html file is entered, the index file is replaced by the html file and the background music stops if no new window is selected.

On a touch screen device, a map page is closed both by a swipe up and by a swipe down. Use two fingers to scroll a map.

Google Map full-screen button removed from the location window.

Text in the link panel corrected

Problem with Google Maps apiKey solved.

Several http links replaced by https links.

The name of variable which remembers the setting of checkbox 'Start slide show automatically' is changed, so if you use that setting, you have to set it again.

If checkbox 'Start slide show automatically' is set, clicking the Close slide button will skip the index page again and open the link given at the top of the Links settings page.

New check-mark 'Disable close slide page' to remove the close button for embedded slide shows. It is only enabled if check-mark 'Start slide show automatically' is set.

The skin gives now a warning message if after a folder a video or image is detected.

If 'Start slide show automatically is set' and 'Stop after the last slide is set', the Slide shows stops and the first slide page is displayed, so clicking the Play button will repeat the slide show in that case.

The full screen options and the automatic scrolling of an expanded panorama works now also under Linux.

It is no longer possible to show in a Facebook Share action, the slide image and as link the slide page, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/feed-dialog#deprecated-params

With the help of Heinz-Peter Bader (Dschuwi), the author of the Clasic Aligned 2 skin, a custom Link panel for an image has been created. It is used to define a link to another page via a button at the top of the slide window. You can use it to show an external panorama page or an information page.
Depending on what has been selected in the Link panel, the link button is displayed as a panorama expansion icon, as a panorama expansion icon for the 360Cities.net site, as an 'Info' icon or as a button with the text defined in the Link panel.
If the link URL contains the substring '360cities.net' a 360 cities expand icon will be showed.

The Album title can be displayed above the theme image, in the theme image or if the title is already drawn on the theme image the album title may be hidden.
The theme image can be hidden on small devices like an iPhone, but if the title was hidden, because it was drawn in the theme image, the title is not hidden.
An extra (height profile) image can be inserted at the end of the top index page and on index pages of subdirectories. For more information read next note: http://andrewolff.blogspot.nl/2014/08/how-to-implement-albums-with-theme.html

Buttons can optionally also be showed on albums in subdirectories.
Chaining is now supported, requires jAlbum version 12.2
For more information how to process pictures in subdirectories, read this note: http://andrewolff.blogspot.nl/2014/08/how-to-process-pictures-in.html

The whole index page is now shifted down 40 pixels on an iPhone.
Property minimal-ui has been added for the viewport meta tag, which minimizes the top and bottom bars on the iPhone if iOS version 7.1 is installed.
Tapping the top bar brings both iPhone bars back, tapping in the content dismisses them again. This is an big improvement of the user interface on an iPhone, so if the iPhone is an important device for you it is advised to remake old albums.

This version repairs the jAlbum website Facebook bug as described in thread http://jalbum.net/forum/thread.jspa?threadID=47097&tstart=0 and it fixes a bug in the generation of an album with folders: the topwindow is now no longer duplicated.

Autoplay can now be enabled or disabled on the Music tab.
Bug fix: problem with refresh window solved.

Bug fix: Alert statement removed.

Because of the extremely badly documented widget interface, the code had to be adapted again to handle comment notification emails.

Problems with Facebook sharing solved.
Sharing buttons are only be visible if check-mark 'Show Facebook buttons' on the General settings tab has been checked. The share button on the index page is in that case always visible on the first index page. The Like button on index page is replaced by the same FB hare icon as used on a slide page. The share button on a slide page can still be hidden by the viewer.

If you share the index page of a Slide Show 4 album, the image selected for the albums index page on the jAlbum server (the image with the red heart in the jAlbum explore) is showed in Facebook next to the text from the index page. If such an image is not selected in the jAlbum explore, the first image is used.

You should use the share buttons only if the album has been uploaded to the server, otherwise you see an error message!

Fast keys are now disabled while you input comment in the widget.

For slides a # followed by the slide index is now showed in the location field of the browser. This is done to support the interface to the jAlbum widget (which can only used if the album is hosted on the jAlbum server).

The image title or filename is now showed in the browser window title field if a slide is displayed.

The possible Home / Up links have been adapted:
If in the Settings / Pages Link to homepage group an URL is given, this link is displayed at the bottom of the index page, as a button if text has been entered in the Text field and as a Home icon if that field is empty.
If on the Slide Show 4 settings Link tab an URL is given in field 'Parent page URL' an up arrow is displayed at the top of the index page.

The hints for the icons at the bottom of the index page are now equal to the text of the corresponding buttons if no icons were used.

Next to the already existing possibility to completely hide or always show the slide navigation buttons, it is now possible to hide the slide buttons while the slide show plays and show the button after you pause the slide show by tapping on on slide. Select your preferred method by clicking the settings button on the index page.

To prevent that the Safari tool-bars pop-up if you display the album on an iPhone running iOS 7, the top buttons on the index and slide page are moved 40 pixels from the top if the album is displayed on an iPhone. Although you see now that the buttons may overlap a little bit the first thumbs on the index page, I think this is a small disadvantage compared by the improved touch interface on an iPhone.

Bux fix: If there were folders, the slide show did not start if a thumb in a folder was clicked.

No functional changes, just removed the quotes in the skin name as given in the skin properties to avoid possible problems with jAlbum 12.

Bug fix: the Settings button did not operate after the slide page was closed.

If a normal slide show album (check-mark embedded unchecked) was started without an index page, the slide show could not be re-started after it was closed. This has been corrected in this version. Now you can show a normal album without index page in an iframe as is done in my website http://www.andrewolff.nl/ and you can start the same album with an index page from the album menu: http://andrewolff.jalbum.net/Vecht_rond_Junne/

Bux fix: If there were 2 or more index pages, the link from the thumb to the slide was wrong on the 2nd and next pages.

With panoramic pictures generated by my program EditPhotoInfo version 4.3 or later version, the panoramic pictures are now initially wider as the standard pictures.
The swipe-up function tries first to expand a slide and if that is not allowed, it opens Google Maps.
The possibility to show a middle footer text block has been added.

Preload of all images is now optional
Folders are now supported.
Optional is the resized image now larger as the natural size
Body font-size is no adjustable on the general tab
Display of panorama pictures in normal mode improved.
Help is no longer displayed in a frame, but in the browser.
Bug fixes

You can now use html code both in the album description and in the slide descriptions.
Use this for instance to add hyper-links in a description.
Top/bottom slide border height is adapted if it contains > 1 description line.
Slide description box is enlarged if it contains contains > 2 description lines.
A " character in the album description gives no longer problems.
Thumb height/width removed if there was comment.

Adapted for iOS7 on the iPad and iPhone.
Now with elastic thumbs which grow or shrink if you change the size of the index page. This is tested on mobile devices with Android and iOS operating system. It works also on PCs with the Safari and Chrome browser, but in IE and FF the dimensions are fixed.
Hint to F11 key added if Windows PC.
Image dimensions of videos corrected.
Height of expanded image adapted if the height is > window height.

Resizing of expanded pictures improved.
The iPhone-iOS 7 fix has been changed: the slide buttons are no longer moved to the center of the picture after the slide show has been stopped. Instead the buttons are placed 20 pixels from the top.

The iPhone-iOS 7 fix has been improved:
The slide buttons are moved to the center of the picture after the slide show has been stopped by a tap of the viewer.
Pre-loading and resizing improved.

This version contains a fix for iOS 7:

With an iPhone and iPod touch running in full screen mode under iOS 7, the top part of the canvas is not interactive anymore, if you click there the Safari navigation bar will appear.
This means you can not use the Slide Show 4 buttons above a slide. Most of these button functions can also be done with swipes, but there are no swipes for the panorama expand function and the Facebook Share function. To repair this these buttons will be moved down on these devices if there is room above the slide.

To get a complete full screen display of your album in iOS 7, turn your iPhone first in portrait orientation and next back in landscape orientation

The language of the help text depends now on the language of the viewer, not on the language of the album creator. Supported languages: NL, EN, DE, FR, ES, SV
Spaces in thumbs and image path replaced by %20
Optional Facebook 'Like' button moved to the left on the index page and changed so that there is no W3C validation error.
Facebook 'Share' button for each slide added, may be hidden in the Settings by the viewer.

The help text and the preloading of images has been improved.

If the album contains wide (panorama-) pictures, an expand icon is now automatically added in the upper left corner of the slide page, if (image width > 2.4 * image height) and (image natural height > 1.4 * initially displayed image height).
For panorama pictures it is advised to enlarge the slide pictures, after the generation of the album, to a height of for example 800 pixels with my program EditPhotoInfo (Function 'Make web page for panorama photo') or with a program like Photoshop Elements (Save for web...).

Facebook code changed to Facebook XFBMTL code scheme.

Bugs removed and some code improvements.

The file-name and if available the image description, is now displayed in a small window just above the thumbnail on the index page if you put your finger with a mobile device like the iPhone or iPad 0,4 second or longer on a thumbnail. You see the same effect on a PC if you hold down left mouse button on a thumbnail. The information window is removed if you release the thumbnail.

The file-name and if available the image description, is now displayed in a smaller window just above the thumbnail on the index page after a long tap on that thumbnail.

A problem with the "Show English Help page" button has been solved.
Invisible control characters in the image description fields, which did cause crashes, are now automatically removed.
Some icons have been changed.

The layout of the index page has been adapted for small devices like an iPhone:

Settings are now only visible if you click the new Settings button. The selection boxes in this settings window are now larger for a better touch interface on an iPhone. Clicking the Settings button again will hide the Settings.

The Help windows shows up if you click the help button and it disappears if you click the Help button again.

Buttons below the thumbnails may optionally be replaced by icons. The size of a button can now be changed by adapting the font-size of button text on the general tab of the Slide Show 4 settings page.

File common.css corrected, so that all styles are working, not only Gray-textile

Some improvements made for a better user interface on an iPhone.
Margins around the sides of swipe area of the index page, to enable vertical scrolling on smart phones.

To do that enter a position after "Used fixed slide top at:".
This position should be >= 0. Leave this field empty if you do not use it.
You can use this fixed position in albums embedded in an iFrame, where the frame height may exceed the screen height.

If the URL of a panoramic expansion page contains '360cities.net', the expand icon is replaced by a 360Cities icon. These links can be added with my program EditPhotoInfo.

Some hints for buttons were always in Dutch, that is now corrected in a language dependent text.

Optional include file page-header_0.inc in the <head> section to include links and/or css code and/or js code can now be added.
If the URL of a panoramic expansion page contains '360cities.net', the page is opened in a new window.

Bug fix: index page no longer contains double header block

If an image description field contains only spaces, it is not displayed.

This version introduces the use of the following optional include files:

page-header.inc in the <head> section to include links and/or css code and/or js code,
page-header_1.inc in top of the <body> index page section for extra html for example a navigation menu,
page-header_2.inc above the caption of the index page for extra html code,
page-footer_2.inc between the description and the optional buttons on the index page for extra html code,
page-footer.inc at the bottom of the index page for extra html code,
slidepage-header.inc at the top of a slide page and
slidepage-footer at the bottom of a slide page.

If you require a special inc page for a specific album, put the inc file in the images directory. If you like to use an inc file for all your albums, put the inc file in the Slide Show 4 skin directory.

For an example of the effect of these include files, see http://www.andrewolff.nl/testjalbum11_SS4/
